Php 30K Gaming PC Build Guide [September 2018]

The goal is to build a low-end gaming setup while trying to keep the cost close to the Php 30,000 budget range. The build guide only includes the System Unit. Remember that this is only a guide and you don’t need to follow it religiously. Please feel free to point out any mistakes and/or suggest what you think can improve the build/s within this price segment.

Intel 30K Gaming PC – Total: Php 27,710

Just a quick heads up, prices are now based on promo prices when bought with a complete PC. Feel free to checkout the prices if bought individually on the link above.

The price drop on GPUs still continues but it was offseted easily by the increasing price of Intel processors due to supply shortage.

I temporarily removed the AMD build due to the absence of Ryzen 3 stocks. But feel free to check June 2018’s build guide if you want an idea on what an AMD 30K build looks like.

Both builds are capable enough to play popular esports game along with NBA 2K and GTA:V at high to ultra settings at 1080p. They could totally take on current AAA titles such as Far Cry 5 and Destiny 2. Even demanding games such as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Battlefield 1 in medium to high graphics settings.

Decent Gaming PC with a massive room for improvement

I would recommend the Intel setup if you’re not interested on overclocking at all and care only about gaming. Otherwise, I’d go for the AMD setup.
